RAYS 3 YANKS 7

LOSS (0-1)



Opening day and a steep task against Halladay and the Yankees.

Some highlights for the Rays:

Defensive Highlights

Choo to Hudson to McCann to get Pujols trying to go 1st to home

1: D.2-H;1xH(942)

McCann also caught Suzuki trying to steal in the top of the 5th

CS2(26)

Offensive Highlights

The "Melk Man" with a 2-rbi Triple in the Second

T.3-H;1-H

O-Dawg with an rbi double in the Second

D.3-H

Butler with a pair of singles.

Offensively challenged Brendan Ryan with a S and a SB

Additional Notes:

Weaver had a shaky start giving up an rbi D and a HR to Cano, who had 4 BI for the night.

Jeter started off hot (just like MLB) with a 2-rbi HR in the 8th off of Santos. Santos had a shaky outing, just as he did in MLB giving up 2 runs.

J Votto had a rough night at the plate 0-4. Was he worth the expense of Turner, Erlin, Lee and 1st rounder?

We'll have to see.
